Abstract

There are two types and four styles in the Naide-Itadakeru honorific expressions. The sentences either end with [Masu＋ka], which are the Naide-Itadakemasuka and Naide-Itadakemassu?, or the sentences end with [Masen＋ka], which are the Naide-Itadakemasenka and Naide-Itadakemasen?. Since Naide-Itadakemasenka is the negative honorific expression of the Naide-Itadakeru type, it is an expression that conveys a far higher degree of respect than Naide-Itadakemasen?, the non-present negative of <Ka>, or Naide-Kudasimasenka in the Naide-Kudasaru type. Also, Naide-Itadakemasenka is made into a negative expression by having [Masen＋ka] at the end of the sentence, making the expression comparatively softer than the positive expression, Naide-Itadakemasuka. In Naide-Itadakemasenka, [Itadaku] is a humble language that communicates a high level of respect, while the end of the sentence is also a polite form that communicates respect. Naide-Itadakemasenka is considered an expression for both male and female speakers since it makes it possible to maintain a certain distance between the listener and speaker, while still maintaining the dignity of the speaker. This paper examines the practical availability and the value of the expression in Naide-Itadakemasenka as focused on a male speake, according to the degree of intimacy, namely as intimate relationship, estranged relationship, or as undefined relationship. As a result, the practical availability of Naide-Itadakemasenka focuses on the male speaker: In ① an intimate relationship: here all cases were effective, except for a few exceptions where the listener was [honorific equal or lower in seniority]; in ② an estranged relationship; and ③ an undefined relationship, in which, regardless of the seniority between the speaker and the listener, all cases were effective. However, if the speaker is restricted to a male speaker, the values of the expression realized in Naide-Itadakemasenka were found to be as follows: In a linguistic, contextual or situational condition, where the speaker’s interpersonal relationship toward the listener was defined as an intimate relationship, the value of the expression such as [anxiety with request], [anxiety], [consideration], [consideration for minors], [solicitation with request] were all realized. Where the speaker’s interpersonal relationship toward the listener was defined as an estranged relationship, the value of the expression connected to the corresponding verb’s lexical/contextual meaning, was realized as [unpleasantness with dissatisfaction], [unpleasantness with complaint], [unpleasantness with anger], [unpleasantness with reprehension], [disgust with unpleasantness], [reprehension with interrogation]. Where the speaker’s interpersonal relationship was undefined, the value of the expression that Naide-Itadakemasenka originally contained [respect], was realized regardless of the hierarchical relationship between the speaker and the listener.
